Thanks for the suggestions Stulid, highly appreciated.

Real world performance gaming wise is there any real difference in say I5 4690K and a 4790K? apart from some games that benefit from multithreading as my friend is debating whether it's worth stretching his budget to facilitate the CPU upgrade. The second build is probably the best for £615 budget. If it was my own PC i'd definitely have the r280x b grade because of the price however I want the build to go smoothly without any delays.

I think the second build is what we'll go for :) thanks a lot :)
